   What the hell are you talking about?   
      
   Are you saying that you believe there has never been a SINGLE television   
   show that featured basically accurate science (within the obvious acceptable   
   bounds of dramatic licence)? I can think of quite a few.   
      
   Of course no show gets *everything* right, unless you count some of the good   
   documentaries on Discovery and such. But there are plenty of shows with   
   professional scientific advisers who do a damn good job of making sure that   
   all of the basics and the overwhelming majority of the details are accurate.   
      
   Where is the 'science fantasy', for example, on 'Bones' -- every episode of   
   which is reviewed for accuracy by Kathy Reichs, one of only a handful of   
   board-certified professional forensic anthropologists in the country?
